A new art exhibition titled "Persistent Curiosity: Charting the Rippled Fabric of the Sea" has opened at the Provincetown Art Association and Museum (PAAM) to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Center for Coastal Studies. The show runs from May 15 through July 19, with an opening reception on May 22.
The exhibition highlights the intersection of art and science, using visual works to explore coastal environments and the long-term research of the Center for Coastal Studies. It matters because it underscores how art can amplify scientific inquiry and public engagement with environmental issues, while also marking a significant milestone for a key regional research institution.
